Dear Lalit
Chapter IV of IGST ACT Determine the Nature of Supply which include Sections 7,8,9 & Chapter V Determines the Place of Supply. so the GST is applicable as per Place of supply.
Place of Supply is determined with the help of General/default or Specific rule of place of supply. The General rule determine the POS with respect to the location of recipient , The specfic rule determines the place of supply with respect to specific rules applicable to the specific situation
Now if we refer Section 12(2) (general rule ) the place of of supply of services, except the services specified in sub-section (3) to (14) , means its applicable when general rule will be applicable only when condition/situation not cover under specific sub section (3) to (14)
Hence as the query cover under 12(8) & as per the the same the POS is the Recepient Place.
Now lets take an example :
sale to SEZ unit with in state , its IGST is Applicable (why its IGST when its in Same State, because an specific section 8 prescribe its Export/Interstate when sold to Sez)
As per new amendment act 31,2018, get effective from 1.2.19
The Courier co. will charge IGST for the courier expenses for delivering goods Outside india to Supplier (Even though both the courier co. & the supplier are in same state)
So in Short GST is destination based Tax or consumption based tax, but same is govern and applicabiltiy of GST levy is according to the section prescribed in Law
